Page 9: Appendix A: Embedded Web Server Configuration
Appendix A: Embedded Web Server Configuration 1. To configure a V4410 unit via the embedded web sever, you must first determine the current IP address of the unit. This can be accomplished using the Configuration Utility. Once the IP address is known, open any standard web browser such as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer or Netscape’s navigator and specify the address of the unit in the browser location bar. - Page 10 for administrative privileges to allow changes from this page. For now as a work around to no control of the DHCP setting, you can power on the unit without connecting the Ethernet, give the unit enough time to boot and fail DHCP, then the unit will default to this configured address, and will respond as such when the Ethernet cable is eventually connected.

Appendix B: Console Menu Configuration 1. There are two ways to connect to the Console Menu System in the V4410. a) If the IP address of the V4410 unit is known, and your PC is on a network reachable by the unit V4410, then you can simply telnet into the V4410. - Page 12 Select a name and an icon for this connection…then hit OK Choose the appropriate communications port, the one the cable is connected to…then hit OK.

Page 15: Appendix C: Special Pc Configuration
Appendix C: Special PC Configuration 1. If all other communication fails with the unit, due to interoperable network configurations it may be necessary for a PC to be removed from the standard network, and specially configured to communicate with the V4410. Once the unit is configured, the PC can be set back to how it was before. - Page 16 7. Record the current settings in this window, because we are going to want set them all back to how they look now when we are done. If it is currently set for “Obtain an IP address automatically” then this is all you have to remember, otherwise you will need each of the above settings.

Assuming that you PC is not running any kind of a DHCP server itself, the Encoder should boot and default to its stored IP 192.168.1.253, unless this has been changed. If the PC is running a DHCP server, then the unit should negotiate an IP address from it.
